Trump supporter speaking at RNC described as boss to 100,000 people doesn't employ anyone [View all]

A Florida businesswoman who the Trump campaign personally asked to deliver a speech at the Republican Convention was billed as the successful employer to a staggering 100,000 people — when, in fact, she employs no one.

Michelle Van Etten, “a multi-level marketer” for a dubious nutritional product company called Youngevity, is slated to speak during Wednesday night’s business-focused event called “Make America First Again.”

The official RNC schedule and a Sunday press release described Michelle as a small-business owner who "employs over 100,000 people and is a strong supporter of Donald Trump, knowing his policies will support businesses all across America.”

Van Etten, 42, revealed to the Daily Beast on Monday that, actually, she has zero employees.

The Republican National Convention and Donald Trump's entire campaign is a scam.
